Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial inactivation by using near- and supercritical carbon dioxide
TL;DR: A potential new method of sterilization is demonstrated by using supercritical fluid carbon dioxide to achieve complete inactivation of a wide variety of bacterial organisms at moderate temperatures and in the absence of organic solvents or irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of subcritical water as a solvent and its utilisation for the processing of hydrophobic organic compounds
TL;DR: A review of the literature that describes subcritical water purely as a solvent for solubilizing HOCs can be found in this paper, where a number of review articles have identified sub-critical water as an effective solvent, catalyst and reactant for hydrolytic conversions and extractions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micronization by Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solutions to Enhance the Dissolution Rates of Poorly Water-Soluble Pharmaceuticals
TL;DR: In this article, the dissolution rate of racemic ibuprofen in supercritical CO2 was measured using a dynamic apparatus at pressures between 80 and 220 bar and temperatures of 35, 40, and 45 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conventional and dense gas techniques for the production of liposomes: a review.
TL;DR: Dense gas liposome techniques are still in their infancy, however they have remarkable advantages in reducing the use of organic solvents, providing fast, single-stage production and producing stable, uniform liposomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vetiver grass, vetiveria zizanioides: a choice plant for phytoremediation of heavy metals and organic wastes
TL;DR: Although Vetiver is not as effective as some other species in heavy metal accumulation, very few plants in the literature have a wide range of tolerance to extremely adverse conditions of climate and growing medium combined into one plant as vetiver.
